World Economic Forum

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is an international organization based in Switzerland that convenes global leaders from business, government, academia, and civil society to address pressing economic and social issues. It is known for its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. The WEF is newsworthy due to its role as a platform for discussing and potentially shaping global policy and responses to evolving geopolitical and economic landscapes. Recent news highlights discussions at the Davos forum, including concerns about the waning influence of the US, the rise of China, the collapse of the post-World War II order, and the need to address issues like pollution and the potential impact of AI on employment. The WEF's current relevance lies in its ability to provide a space for dialogue and collaboration on critical global challenges, even as the international order undergoes significant shifts.
